Note 28 — Chapter XVIII · LITURGICAL PLAYS

Bodl. Douce MS. 222, f. 6 (eleventh century; cf. Gautier, 136), printed and facsimiled by Gautier, 215, 219. Du Méril, Or. Lat. 149, gives it from a Limoges Troper (B.N. 909, f. 9): it is also in B.N. 1118, f. 8ᵛᵒ, and probably the other Limoges MSS. Frere, 145, gives it from the twelfth-century St. Magloire Troper (B.N. 13,252), and R. Twigge, in Dublin Review (1897), 362, from a fifteenth-century breviary of Clermont-Ferrand (Cl. F. MS. 67). Here it is sung by two boys, and near the altar after the Te Deum at Matins. According to Gautier, 123, it is also in the late eleventh-century Nevers Troper (B.N. 9449).
